Kath's #9-12
#9 - Deep Dish by Mary Kay Andrews
A fairly forgettable chic lit I listened to on CD in the car. It was set in the south and was about a competition between two regional cooking show gurus who both want to get the same contract for the Cooking channel's new show. It was okay. I liked that the setting was a bit different.
#10 - Cleopatra's Daughter by Michelle Moran
A very readable story about Cleopatra and Marc Antony's daughter (I didn't know she even existed until I found this book - in fact, they had three children together). Some of the language was a bit modern for the setting, but I enjoyed it a lot, particularly learning a bit more about Augustus Caeser's Rome.
#11 - Living Oprah: My One-Year Experiment to Walk the Walk of the Queen of Talk by Robyn Okrant
A fairly entertaining and very readable memoir in the genre of the "do something for a year" variety. I enjoyed it. Not that the conclusions really meant anything. But it was fun.
#12 - The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larson
The second in Larson's Millenium trilogy. We learn more about Salender's past and it is a doozy. I am very excited for the final volume, which is coming out in May.
